Seems like a steal at £1m.
Should be all over that one. Isn’t he a left back? Would have been good cover for Rose if so!
No - he’s a right wing back and a CM mid - more the former
This is an odd rumour which I think is Agent driven - I would say Barca, if they do spend, have circa £20-£30m available
They need to sell first, and that will only come in the summer when the likes of Coutinho, Vidal, Rakitic all go
he looks business
Bushy frowning eyebrows, a purple complexion and thin stoical lips all indicate the man can get violent when needed. He'd be just what we need to see transfers through.
I’m sure that’s Richard Keys dressed up
It was old school with a few parts missing - getting de Jong in the 11 will make a huge difference - they will need to at some point fill at least one of the wide positions with a top quality player (will need to sell Dembele in the summer)and get a CF in
I was gobsmacked when they appointed him - such a weird one
The one that pisses me off is Stefano Piolli - literally gets some cracking jobs even though he’s absolute gash
He follows Cruyff (and Bielsa to a point), so either a 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 - he played a 3-4-3 mostly when at Betis - but if they need to seriously press then its a 3-4-1-2 - with this Barca team being a bit slow, I'd be surprised if the doesn't go with a 3-4-3 - ala us with Rafa - with the 2 either side of the forward tucked in - this should benefit both Messi and Griezmann - shame they don't have Countinho right now, could have benefitted a lot
Its possession based football with a cutting edge - not passing for the sake of passing - with better players, he should be able to implement this quite well
And he is the biggest fan of Messi on the planet
Its 2 years worth of steady decline which he seems to have no answers for (its Messi that has bailed him out countless times) - this season has been worse, they can barley string a performance away from home - playing a turgid 4-4-2 hasn't helped - should have got rid of him end of last season
Barca's recruitment has been very poor recently (take De Jong and Arthur to one side), so that part of Barca needs looking into also
